[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 124389, member: 1697"] docs are also often telling you what parental decisions to make. and docs also often make mistakes when writing Rx or deciding what medications to Rx. The doctor has his education, and so does the pharm.....both go to school for a very long time, docs learn some things, pharms learn others. very often even docs ask pharmacists questions to gain input. As for you getting an elderly mans medications- was the label on the Rx bottle your sons or the elderly mans? Who HANDED you that bottle? was it The Pharm or a tech or clerk? Anytime we pick up medications, we also have to take some rsponsibility for checking the bottle, and while when we get a new Rx we might not have any clue what the medications we wanted look like, when we are picking up a refill, we should have a good idea what our medications will look like, and if they do not LOOK right- you SHOULD question it. No part of administering a medication to anyone for any reason should be handled lightly, or in a cavalier manner. Everyone every step of the way SHOULD treat it with the strict and careful attention it deserves. medications are very serious potentially harmful things. Nope, I will not deny that some pharmacists can be rude. Many ARE rude. I will agree many are not good at their job, maybe by being less than careful, or by not haveig good people skills etc. I also have worked with many docs who have crummy people skills, are rude and have a crummy "bedside manner" I am only trying to point out that there might be valid legitimate reasons for some of the things a pharmacist says. And anytime we are utilyzing the services of a professional of any kind, what we are paying for IS their "professional OPINION" NOw, we DO have the choice of accepting their professional opinion. I also agree with that. So yes, this pharmacist very well may have been rude simply to be rude. Or this pharmacist might just have crummy skills for dealing with things. [/QUOTE]
